Gerber’s Lil’ Mixers™, allow you to add a little or a lot of texture to customize your little one’s food as they learn new skills.

Introducing texture:

An important milestone in a baby’s feeding development.

When? The time to do this is approximately 8 months when baby is crawling with their stomach off the floor and developing their chewing skills.

Why? While experiencing new textures, your baby learns oral motor skills – particularly moving his/her tongue side to side, mashing and chewing food together to prepare for swallowing. Each new texture is a new learning experience for baby.

Beginner Texture – The texture of this Lil’ Mixers™ product is at a Beginner level

The mixed grains & carrots are soft, blend easily in the puree, and holds together to be transferred to the side of baby’s mouth for mashing and practicing early chewing.

Mixing: You can add a little, or a lot of the mix-in for baby, depending on how many times you’ve previously introduced this or other textures, and how comfortable you anticipate baby will be. Add a lil’ or a lot!
